There are so many jokes to make, but RailUk forums seem have already been horsing around.

Daft idea, I wonder hoofought of it?

I saw this headline on BBC News site, it got a smile out of me. My favourite bit is how, after being refused, he went to the ticket office to try and buy two tickets.

I expect he would have a bit of trouble, he looks like he has a bit of a cold and his voice might be a bit horse.

Not really a stable way of transporting a pony is it? Was the ticket £25?

With the rail prices as they are, surely it would have been cheaper to just rent a horse box?

STOP PRESS!!!

Whoever's horse it is has been reported (in todays London Metro) that it has since been a Primark store, a pub (waiting to be served :mrgreen: ) AND running rampant in Wrexham High St.

The owner has also been named, and its neither Welshie nor Acorn.

Tis all for now! :mrgreen:
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that :mrgreen:

anyways, back on topic, i don't think the horse would have done the train much good, it wouldn't have moved, all these small, low-budget trains it wouldn't have had enough 'horse power' to move anywhere!
